PHP Problems.

Hey,
my site: www.the44th.co.uk

If you look in the bottom right hand corner of both the index.php and members.php page. You will notice a 'User Panel'.

This panel is a simple if-else statement checking if the user is a guest or not and then a switch within the else to define different access.

I originally had this hard-coded into the index.php page, but as I recently added it to the members.php page so I saw the benefits of using an include instead to help with editing.

The problem I now have it that the panel does not want to recognise when people are logged in. I've printed the variable $pun_user['g_id']; which you can see is "3" (Guest) and it does not change even when people are logged in and their g_id should be different.

<?php


define('PUN_ROOT', './forum/');                             /* Where the root folder is */
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';                      /* Get the file "include/common.php" */

                   
                       
                          /* Logged in / Logged out section */


   print $pun_user['g_id'];

   if ( $pun_user['g_id'] == 3 ) { 

         ?>
       
          /* Some HTML */

        <?

  }

   else {
    
      ?>

         /* HTML & Switch */

       <?

 }

                          /* End of Logged in / logged out section */

?>

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
